100 % Correct, "Zune is not Supported to restore SPL" and the thread does not say restore will downgrade SPL.

If you will read the Thread again, it clearly says Mango Upgrade changes SPL.

DETAILED EXPLANATION

==================

1) When you upgrade to MANGO (7720), SPL changes to 4.X followed by the HTC Update that changes SPL to 5.X

2) Restoring to NO DO or any other update (7392, 7403) does not change SPL 5.X, but the fact Remains that you have a Phone that can be upgraded via Zune.

3) Conscidering that we retored to No Do via Zune and SPL still being 5.X, We start upgrading and we get Update 7392 and 7403.

4) Next update is Mango (7720) [Zune does not change SPL but the Update installation does, especiallt 7720 and HTC Firmware update].

5) Since Zune is not supported to check or Downgrade the SPL, when the Mango Update happens on the phone with SPL 5.X, The update changes SPL to 4.X "Phone reboots twice after the update is applied one for changing SPl and other for loading Mango".

6) Next come HTC Firmware Update, if u apply tht too, u again endup with SPL 5.X, so u have to Stop after Mango Update and then follow the below Thread

I really want to downgrade my SPL 5.xx (Official Mango RTM) but I lost my NoDo Restore (I already formatted the Laptop i used in upgrading).
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Magpir:
the problem here is SPL 5.0 cant be flashed to lower rom. if someone figure that out, it owuld solve a lot of problems

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------

i think this is what happened on my phone

back in july i used the xda backup tool to back up my phone and played around with mango beta restore and reinstall ect using those custom made backups ,cut and past from premango state into zune folder ect

all worked fine

then i flashed a nodo stock rom back to 7008 , also expereimented with nodo backups from xda tool. at this time i discovered that SPL 4.5 does not allow to downgrade in zune using the premango state to zune folder methods with the backups i made in july using the xda backup tool . Other than that, SPL 4.5 allows clean flashing of earlier stock roms

flashing stock roms and downgrading all worked fine as this time it was still on SPL 4.5

then from this 7008, i updated to nodo again in zune this time all the way to official mango in zune with the SPL 5.0 update ( this was unkowingly)

since then i cant restore with my older xda tool backups made in july or clean flash any stock roms, ( not even the 7720 stock rom)

some have suggested that the CID of the phones have changed

so i assume that when i from 7008 , upgrade to nodo to mango all the way officially in zune. this new cid change took place?

so i presume that the zune backups have this new cid , maybe thats why some of here are able to downgrade for obviously u have the backups made in zune itself

now i dont have the zune backups because i deleted and reinstall my windows PC. Besides that, the backup i had in zune was 7403 and not nodo. So i guess it pretty useless

I have only the july zune backups made by the unofficial method ( XDA backup tool )

although zune can see it , i cannot restore

Hey all, just wanted to share with you all. I was playing around with my Omnia 7 and messing with the bootloader and radio software by changing Operator ID and manually flashing updates. Needless to say something went wrong and I was stuck with an old bootloader/radio software with Mango.

Anyways, I found that backing up a phone will not backup the bootloader/radio software.

So in my mind, it was obvious, flash the phone to stock Oct 2010 ROM, Chevron unlock, Provxml install and then update all the way to Mango and then restore data.

Here's the kicker, I had several copies of my phone's data and all them had the same corresponding phone ID. Even after flashing the ROM, the ID remained the same, so I thought ok no problem. Common sense says it should work.

BUT..... all my backups were not able to be restored. ALL 10 of my backups. From NODO, Mango Beta, even my latest backup. All can't be restored.

And after alot of reading and Googling, I came to the conclusion that if you manually flash your phone, all your backups will be rendered invalid.

I don't know the reason why but just a fair word of warning. You can do anything to your phone and backup/restore as long as you DON'T flash a ROM on it.

Hi, i've just bought an HD7 today, & it comes with Mango & Bootloader 5.xx

Since i donnot have any restore of No-Do (or previous rom), is there a way to downgrade the Bootloader to Flash a new mango-custom Rom?

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] xdrc45:
The SPL isn't changed until after you restart the update process again. So after the restore and when you re-update then SPL changes to 4.xxx but you have to stop the update process before the last and final HTC firmware update orthewise the SPL with be upgraded to 5.xxx
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] jshuler:
Thanks for the reply!

Turns out my backup was actually Mango. I found an earlier backup that was the beta version of Mango. I then remembered that my NoDo backup was from a previous phone anyway so I was going to just give up and fully update it.

Part way through the updates, I saw Zune loading an HTC Update - I quickly pulled the USB cable and what do you know: the bootloader version was backed down to 4.5!

I was able to follow instructions in another thread to get it down to 3.1!

In summary, this worked even with a beta mango update!

I think for deepshinning I need to load NODO anyway right?

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

which article is it? how did you downgrade to 3.1? did you install NODO again after 4.5?
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] xdrc45:
Yes you have to downgrade to 3.xxx by flashing your devices specific stock Pre-NoDo or NoDo rom. Each Pre-NoDo/NoDo rom has its own SPL version. If you look at the rom page from here it will show you what Rom Version and SPL version the Pre-NoDo/NoDo rom is.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_HD7/Shipped_Roms

Once the SPL is downgraded to 3.xxx, then you can install XSPL (RSPL/HSPL) which is required to flash a custom rom.

Once XSPL is installed to the device then you can flash a custom rom of your choice.

4.5 allows u to downgrade to nodo

1) flash downgrade to nodo

There's an error in the guide

I tried myself 5 times on my HTC HD7 and I couldn't downgrade my 5.11.x OSPL. I noticed that once Mango 7720 was successfully installed, my OSPL was the same (I followed the guide step-by-step 5 times). I I open Zune, it wants to update my phone to 7740 and NOT to an HTC Update! So I tried myself (once Mango 7720 was installed) to "deploy" the first Mango HTC Update (2250.21.40502.401) .cab with the apposite tool and once I installed this firmware, the phone booted 2 times! Here, once to apply the HTC Update, and the next for downgrading OSPL to 4.x!

Please specify this in your guide! It could be helpful!

Whenever I get home, my phone always seems to default to a BT Openzone wifi, which one of the neighbours obviously has set up on their router. The problem being, that my SGS2 always decides to connect to this, rather my own wifi. Whether it's because it picks this signal up first, as might be stronger when driving in to area, I don't know. But the point is, that I never asked it to connect to this ssid...

I will then go to wifi settings, and choose "Forget this network", and then it connects to my ssid... However, I don't want it to automatically connect to open wifi's.

Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing to tell it not to connect to open wifi networks automatically? Happens every time I come home. Try connecting, cannot connect, and then realise it's conected to the openzone open wifi... Forget it, and it works. Go out, come home, openzone, forget, works. etc etc...

Using the checkrom revo hd 3.1.1, in case it's a setting that's been set up on that rom?! Had a look, but couldn't see anything

Hopefully someone can please please help :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Just a suggestion:

There is an option in Settings menu => Wireless and network => WLAN settings => network notification.

Have you already tried to change this setting?

There is also an advanced menu in WLAN settings - just click menu button => advanced.

In advanced WLAN settings, you can set to use a static IP address.

If you enter an IP address for your private WLAN, then you can prevent to be connected with an open wifi dynamically.

It is not very elegant, as you have to switch this setting, if you want to receive an IP address dynamically again, for example in other WLANs.

So, it is just a workaround - not a solution.

Maybe you can find an app in the Market to save different WLAN configurations/connections and which allows you the disabling to connect to other (non-saved) WLANs.

But I have not search for such an app yet.

Good luck !

Thanks for the suggestion...

Setting a static IP is not really an option, as I'm often between different networks...

As wifi settings are mainly hosted in the kernel, you may flash a different kernel (compatible with your ROM !).

Does your home network by any chance have a hidden SSID?

Another idea might be to look at the wifi-configfile. IIRC, it is saved in /data/wifi/bcmsomething.conf.

If you do not find it, I can check for the correct name tonight.

My phone does not and never did autoconnect to open networks (I am using CheckROM Revo HD since the first version, now at 4). Can you select the open network in wifi settings, hold long and choose to delete settings for it?
